Sure. So the only municipalities that could implement this plan with success are those that have no current last mile connections within their boundaries. No cable co. No big bell.
The downside is that few municipalities are still free of these existing monopolies, so most could not execute that brilliant plan.
Mandate or not, the most serious vulnerabilities will be those that the company is ignorant of.
If a company is aware of a serious vulnerability, and decides that it doesn't make business sense to correct, it has the option of making the government aware in order to limit the company's liability. Clever indeed.
"If this gets to the point that it's deployed in my area, I plan to become *extremely* active on the HF Amateur Radio bands with *full* legal power. If it means fighting fire with fire, then by all means I'm prepared. They operate under the part 15 "non interference" rules. I operate under full FCC license to transmit. IOTW, I win."
Congratulations. A well fought victory over inexpensive high-speed internet connectivity. I'm sure you think the proles don't deserve it anyway. Idiot.
The marketing effort was most certainly derailed by early engineering promises that didn't even come close. Remember them saying 100mbps at 100m? Ridiculous promises, and a LONG time before they had anything at all to show.
Yeah! Lakewood, Colorado is being built out with this system right now, with the Denver area planned. It Rocks. I don't work at the company either, but I am employed there!;) http://www.switchpointnetworks.com

WUSB will replace Bluetooth
From an interview with Intel CTO
He indicates that it'll have better performance and lower power consumption. Eventually.

Damn! There goes my patent on bullshit!
Et tu, RedHat?
Hasn't anyone thought of that? Self-inficted germicide by techno-arrogant humans?
That'll teach us.
